The terrazzo flooring and sheathing over the bar bring an almost old-world, homey element to the interior, while the exposed cement beams on the ceiling and walls add the afore mentioned undone, "industrial" touch.
To the left of the bar is the show stopping hefty, wooden platform built on successive levels, much like the stands at a stadium or outdoor theater. The intention is twofold: to encourage the interaction of the inside with the out since it faces the bustling "Kapnergaton" Square outside, as well as to promote the interaction of patrons who are already inside the café - for what faster way is there to meet somebody new than to excuse yourself as you walk up next to them holding a steaming cup of jo?
There's more to look at further inside. One wall is covered in a "collage" of sorts featuring traditional tiles of juxtaposing patterns. Meanwhile, a shiny/matte sculpture of a rhinoceros hangs from the ceiling - and seems perfectly at-home in the geometrically rich patterns of the interior. Comfortable sofas and chairs are interspersed throughout, offering many spots and nooks where patrons can experience this unique and thoroughly welcoming setting.
